Sa leabhar seo tá leacht a thug Dónal O hAiniféin ag Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann i Mí Aibreáin 2008. Is Iar-Uachtarán Gaelscoileanna Teoranta agus príomhoide reatha Ghaelscoil Mhíchíl Cíosóg é Ó hAiniféin, agus tarraingíonn sé ar shaothair thaighdeoirí idirnáisiúnta agus ar a chuid taighde féin ar mhúnlaí an luath-thumoideachais iomláin in Éirinn agus scileanna léitheoireachta an Bhéarla i measc daltaí i mbunscoileanna Gaeilge chun léargas a thabhairt dúinn ar cheist an tumoideachais.

In this booklet is a lecture given by Dónal Ó hAiniféin at the Royal Irish Academy in April 2008. Ó hAiniféin IS A PAST President of Gaelscoileanna Teoranta and current principal of Gaelscoil Mhícíl Cíosóg, and he drew both on the works of international researchers and on his own research into methods of total early immersion education in Ireland and the English literacy skills of pupils in Irish-speaking primary schools to give us an insight into the issue of immersion education.
